   Hi, Thanks for taking the time to checkout Mocktails and for your suggestions. 1. Yes, 'Bring Forward' does sound much more obvious than 'Move one level up'. I'll change this soon. 2. Another good point. We are deviating from normal drag b

   I don't want to introduce unnecessary complexity, but your suggestion would be quite usefull, especially if people get confused like this. I'll look into integrating this. Thanks!

   Ah yeah, jquery-resizable is a tad difficult to use on touch devices. However, we are not planning to optimize for mobile devices anytime soon, since this is a tool people are mostly going to be using from their desktop.

   Thanks for trying out Mocktails. Glad you liked it. As for your link, while I am a huge fan of minimalism, it's a tad too minimal, don't you think?

   Thanks for the kind words and for using Mocktails. As for your question: I subscribe to the belief that if a company has a product page at 'www' subdomain or at the root domain, then it's blog should be located at the 'blog' subdomain. That

   Thanks for your kind words and for trying out Mocktails. I personally found 10px width to be quite usable, but if you are having trouble with it then I don't mind nudging it up to say 15px. If you have any other suggestions or feature reque

   Hi, Firstly, thanks for using the app. Secondly, if you could mention the name of the app which you think we have plagiarized, I'd be happy to look into your claims. If your claims of plagiarism are solely based on the general UI and intera

   Thanks for playing with Mocktails. I should have put some icons in there, but there were a lot of buttons that required icons (esp. in the properties popover), so I decided to ship it and beautify it later.

    Thanks for trying out Mocktails and reporting this issue. This should not be happening as there is code in there specifically to prevent this. If possible, could you check if there are any javascript errors printed to the console? It would

    Thanks for trying out Mocktails. To get the behavior you desire, you could group all the elements together and then move that group. The alignment option is specifically for aligning all individual elements to one particular baseline. Like

    Thank you! All the credits for the good looks should really go to Twitter Bootstrap. I'm a pathetic designer and if left to me the app would have looked like this ( http://imgur.com/YYogy ). All I can say is: thank heavens for bootstrap :P

    Hi, Thanks for taking the time to play with it. As for your questions: 1. It does not warn you if you are nearing localStorage quota limits. AFAIK, there is no browser API to check your remaining quota. However, this is a pretty good idea,

    I'm not really using it to scrape the comments threads in bulk, I'm just using it on an individual thread at a time. So I haven't had any problems with rate limiting. Also, unless you are hitting hundreds of threads at the same time, I don'

    You can use a convoluted bit of javascript to determine if there is a more link in the comments page. Then if you detect a more link, use ajax and get that page and append to the current page. Rerun your javascript to determine if the newly

    It is very disheartening to see that something like privacy settings have not exempted from this 'lets patent everything we can get our hands On' mentality. Sure these patents may be used today only for defence but in the future when Faceb

    I do not really see why you have to pivot away from your idea simply because a competitor launched with a similar idea. You have mentioned several differences between Shopjoy and Shoptiques in your post and if I were you I would focus on ma

    Mine was Ghostfox. I had enjoyed using ghostzilla and found it pretty nifty for browsing on my school computers, so when they folded and the browser started getting increasingly outdated, I hacked together an extension for Firefox using VB6

    There was a project from Mozilla Labs called Raindrop which kind of sounds like what you are asking for. However, the last update to that site was quite some time ago (August 2010) and I doubt the project is still active.

    Writing code on an iPad would require an external keyboard and a propping mechanism - both of which have their problems. When working with an iPad half the keys on the external keyboard are useless. And it just so happens that these 'useles

    I believe rather than focusing on people in your friends circle, it would be a better idea to focus on friends of your friends. Say an app that listed the photo and short bio of all of your friend's friends. You could then express an intere

    I still don't understand. Typing takes a definitive amount of time. Touch typing can cut that time significantly. I do agree with that. However, claiming that typing slowly makes you lose your flow appears a bit far fetched to me.

    I don't really agree with the Steve Yegge comment. When I am programming I spend upwards of 85% of the time thinking, not typing. As such I don't see how being at 80wpm (my sloppy sometimes-touch-sometimes-look typing speed) affects my prod

    Actually in this case it was the Scribd URL that was submitted. If a URL pointing to a PDF had been submitted, then the title text would link to the raw PDF and the appended '[scribd]' text would link to the Scribd version of it.
